Model Release Form Template

In the world of advertising the legalities are immense. You have to be careful at every step. If you are a photographer or an advertising agency you must have the permission of the model being shot for the advertisement to publish her photographs. The use of photographs cannot be done unless you have the permission of the model. This is applicable for all the media such as print, electronic and web. The model release form template is used to gain this permission.

For the publisher

The publisher of the photographs such as the photographer or the advertising agency all should have the model release form signed by the model to gain the permission to release the photographs in public

For the model

The model release form can be used by the models to grant permission to their photographers or the advertising company for the release of their photographs.

Without the use of model release form the photographs of the model cannot be legally used by anyone even after the photo shoot.

The reason behind calling this form a model release is that through this form the models grant permission to the other party to release their photos in public and for the promotion of a product. By signing the model release form the model grants permission to not only use the photograph but also her name. after signing this particular release form the model has no rights to choose which photographs will be published and which will not be published.
